“I slept with more than 80 women and infected my wife with HIV” — Actor Hanks Anuku

Hanks Anuku, known popularly for his criminal roles in Nollywood movies disclosed in an interview with Ghana’s City FM Radio, his promiscuity and how his wife has to suffer from his sins. 

Hanks narrated how he traveled to Zambia without his family in 2011 to perform in plays about HIV and AIDS.

“Life in Zambia was heaven on earth since we were able to enjoy life and go to different places, but I missed my family.” During that time, I engaged in a variety of s*xual activities and slept with a variety of women. When I returned home, I never looked after my family. He added, “I started drinking and became an irresponsible spouse, allowing my wife to shoulder the entire load.”

He continued, “One of my girlfriends told me about her pregnancy while I was in Zambia, so I got tested. She had gone for pregnancy tests and was tested for HIV during that period, and the results were shocking, she was HIV positive.

She compelled me to take the test, but I couldn’t accept the results. I returned to Zimbabwe after being tested and stayed quiet about the situation. I never mentioned the problem to my wife. I’m sorry I infected her. Later on, I underwent some counseling, which went well”.

Hanks claimed that being a celebrity-led him to do things he didn’t want to do and he was carried away by the popularity.

“At the height of my popularity, I had sex with around 80 ladies in Harare and Zambia. Being on television in 2002 was incredible. I took advantage of my celebrity. To make matters worse, I lacked therapy and did not appropriately handle the situation”.

Hanks said he regrets all his actions and has become a born-again Christian. He said his wife forgave him for infecting her and they are still together.
